Shrek the Musical Juniors 2024
Free performance of our Year 6 Musical for local primary schools on 30 May 2024.
Aims
To provide an opportunity for primary aged children in the local area the experience and joy of watching live theatre.
Local schools don't often have the opportunity to take part or attend live theatre so it is important we give them that opportunity.
Success factors were straightforward - a full house and transport for each school.
Background
We offer this opportunity most years - Year 6 musical to Primary schools, and our Senior school musical to Secondary schools.
Resources
We use our inhouse theatre - the Squire Performing Arts Centre, with both teaching (1 x Drama Teacher) and non-teaching staff (2 x theatre support staff)
No financial contribution required.
Impact
We use verbal and written feedback from each school - which is always very complimentary.
Pupil Involvement
We invited pupils from state schools and independent from Y5 - 6 and both boys and girls.
There were 187 from state schools and 37 from independent schools.
Frequency
Takes place annually for as long as we continue to do Musicals.
